I'd much rather fish. *Tying, for me, is just for creating something new or churning out enough patterns for a trip. * *Ask me to tie a few dozen catskill patterns and I'll probably have a going to the dentist look on my face. *

I hear that! Now nymphs and midges, no problem. Can crank those out, but dries, I simply don't fish them enough. But to answer the question, I'll tie something up the day before I'm going out, or in the morning before work... The pattern might work, but the next thing you know you've got 40-50 different midge patterns in the box
